A new ICE means they are able to run it on a custom engine map. I think they’re running a map that’s pushing all the horsies out of that thing, reliability risks be damned.

Hamilton made the corner in Silverstone because of the contact with Verstappen, which forced him to slow down enough to make it. He entered the corner on a tight line, at almost the same speed as he did in qualifying, and missed the apex. There’s no way he would’ve kept it inbounds.

This used to be the rule, and it was enforced (though quite inconsistently). But somewhere the time-penalties became more popular, and for whatever dumb reason they’ve stopped doing this. So now, we’ve already seen a number of cases where a driver overtakes illegaly, gets hit with a 5-second penalty but get to keep…

It’s not BS. They had a 0% chance of staying in front of Lewis, so fighting him would have only made them lose time to their actual opponents on track.

They did not tell Mercedes that it was under investigation. Masi told Mercedes that he was looking at it, as race control is the one who refers incidents to the stewards to investigate. Which he didn’t end up doing for this incident.

Sure they can. The budgets will be tighter, and there will be more spec parts, but quite a lot is still up for teams’ interpretation, and they can develop it however they want.

Considering this is a very rare occurrence, and the fact that it’s pretty much impossible to define what constitutes ‘needing a replacement’, this is not a big issue and doesn’t really warrant all the attention it’s got since Silverstone.

Yessir

3pm-10:30pm is on NBCSN.

You know things are bad when there’s reports of you not gettting kicked out of a nightclub.

I don’t know if or how it’s available in the US, but if it’s more ‘content’ that you want, just watch Formula 2 as well.

Deadspin is still a thing?

Out of all those clubs, only West Ham is technically in East London, with Millwall and Charlton playing in South-East London. This is something the writer clearly can’t differentiate from ‘London’.

Alpha Tauri and Sauber are also continental teams.

It’s probably only slightly more dangerous than walking the streets at midnight in East London.

Of course. Mazepin is white. So is Stroll. And Yuki has been especially bad this season, even by his own admission. I still won’t give up on him, because he was too good in F2 last season to just write him off after a poor rookie year, but he HAS to step it up next season. He needs to grow up fast, both in- and…

Yeah, he’s not crazy. If Red Bull promotes him for 2023 (which is a long-shot as they clearly don’t trust him), he’ll take that deal and hopefully shows that he’s learned from past mistakes.

Except they didn’t crush Gasly’s confidence by demoting him; they increased it. Look at where he is now: assuming he’ll be a free agent for the 2024 season, teams like Aston, McLaren and Alpine could be fighting over his signature.

Lawson wasn’t in contention for that seat this season.

You’re right, the reigning (7-time) world champion, a black man, is regularly getting shot at before his races.
